The Great Book of John: Dark Star Video on BLURT

In the process of putting the finishing touches on their new album set for release in 2013 on the Communicating Vessels label is The Great Book of John, Alabama natives who’ve been compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley and Stevie Ray Vaughan. They previously caught the attention of the public with a striking cover of “Never Tear Us Apart” in 2011, following that up earlier this year with “Simple Things,” a powerful video that was rich in metaphors and developed an in depth storyline about the evils of temptation and greed.

Now they’ve unveiled the video for the upcoming record’s first single, “Dark Star” (released Nov. 27), cut live in a studio in NYC while the band was on tour. The track was recorded and produced by PLX / WIZ, while the video directed by Seth Newell.
